AAGGHHH Again!
So my family member that is/was on Meth is back at home. She was at my dad’s for a day and then she came to my house last Sunday. Which is fine at least I know she isn’t using when she is at my house. She has slept almost the entire time she has been here which is stressful on me because I am the one dealing with her boys. I usually have them on the weekends anyway but the weekend ended Sunday. I am stressed to the max. I normally get a break during the week so I am able to do normal stuff like homework, house work, and maybe even some relaxing. Man, these last few days have been crazy. I am grateful that my family member is getting clean but she still has some drama associated with this. Like she loaned her truck out to one of these addicts and the girls quit returning the calls and no one knew where the truck was for 3 or 4 days. Eventually the girl called and said her truck was in Fairview, MO which is like one hour away. So her, her husband and my husband drive all the way down there just to find out the tags aren’t on it, there is no battery, and the girl has the keys. So they ended up calling a wrecker to tow it back to Joplin. Now they have to get a new key made that is going to cost because there is a chip in it or something. But she is getting mad at her husband, as well as me and my husband because we don’t have any money and are limited to what we can do. We tell her she brought this on herself and we are willing to try to help her fix it but she doesn’t need to be yelling at us. I told her she should go look in the mirror and yell. Today, again she has been sleeping all day and I have been dealing with the 2 boys and trying to do homework as well as housework and dinner. I, again, am so stressed. I am so glad she is getting clean but she shouldn’t expect everyone to drop everything and be at her every yell and do everything she wants us to do. Our lives didn’t stop when she went on her little “adventure”, we still have our normal stuff to do every day and we can’t just drop everything to do what she needs done. We have to work around our normal schedule and life. I want to help her but she is asking too much I think. Maybe now that she is getting clean she can get her a job and get a house of her own and start living normally.
